This is really great to see from Specialized.
Pros
- Clean cabling through the head tube
- Threaded BB
- Fork and seat post from SL7
- Removable FD mount if you want to run 1x
Cons
- Welds are pretty ugly
- Still pretty expensive
Frameset with a custom build would be my choice.
Wonder if they actually have any stock? Was looking for an sl7 awhile back and it was slim pickings.
Pricing seems to be $2k and weighs 1.5 kg. Like the paint schemes though. I guess the second issue would be finding a groupset!
Mike at McPhails could let you know really quickly.
Love this bike…would be a great addtion at such a great proce point and based on the SL7…wow. @Oliver_Smith agreed, love the paint…
